Teacher’s pick
Padraic is an amazing teacher! I needed an IELTS teacher and I found Padraic 3 weeks before my official exam. I needed a band of 6.5 and I got it! He had excellent classes preparation and he was very organized. He was different from other teachers because he was fully prepared for each lesson and you received feedback after the class. Some lessons were demanding but at the same time Padraic was friendly and approachable. I was surprised by the deep knowledge and passion he demonstrated for their subject matter. I think that if you really want to learn English seriously and to invest your money in valuable classes, you’ll definitely have to reserve classes with Padraic! Thanks a lot for your patience and motivation, Padraic! Ximena, Peru

Thank you, Padraic for useful language content. I recommend Padraic to people who want to improve speaking skills and study business English. Padraic has a special program for business English. Besides, he is extremely attentive to the student's mistakes, so we discuss all my errors after the class. Such a method really helps to evolve.

Padraic is an excellent tutor and he has been helping me so much to increase my score for IELTS. I IMPROVED MY SPEAKING FROM 7 TO BAND SCORE 8. He puts a lot of effort and dedication trying to help students, by suggesting improvements according to their weakness. Lessons are dynamic, focus on speaking and analysing what should be improved. Feedbacks are always constructive and well-developed. I strongly recommend him as tutor.
